In June 2020, the Michigan Department of Education approves Western Michigan University’s expedited elementary teacher certification program. This is the pre-application form for the program. Please complete this application by November 1 to be scheduled for an interview in December to be selected for one of the limited spots in the 2024 cohort. If you are selected for the 2024 cohort, you will receive the link to complete the application for the MA program. There will be an orientation in April 2024. At that time, we will register you for the summer and fall classes that are reserved for the cohort students.
If you have questions about next steps please contact Dr. Regena Nelson at
